Tarpen Trimmers

I used to work for Enfield Council from '79 to 2012, we used these in the early days, had a dual output 110v generator, 2 trimmers and, to start with, about 20 metres of cable.
This cable often got cut through, by yourself or your colleague, so by the end of the hedge cutting
season you were lucky to have enough left to reach the hedge!

i have a tarpen electric trimmer ser/no pj14949x type 45p what is its value.

i have one of these trimmers in perfect working order and are they worth anything

i have a set of these if you are interested?working condition.

Very interested to see this advert. I lived in Solihull as a child, where we had a large garden surrounded on 3 sides with a 7 to 8 feet Privet hedge, approx 150m in all, which dad used to cut by hand twice yearly! He purchased one of these 110 volt Tarpen Hedge Trimmers in about 1948/49 as I recall. It came with a heavy 250 to 110 volt transformer.
I 'inherited' it after dad's death in 1985, and had to dispose of it as the main bronze worm gear in the gearbox wore out after about 60 years!! I was unable to locate a replacement, although found an agricultural firm in Herefordshire that still had a few spares from the days when they were stockists - a sad departure. I wonder how long my current replacement will last!!
